Purpose and goal
The established expertise, the innovative use of methods and techniques for calculating novel indicators, the high quality of data and the skill in empirical analysis have led to an international visibility and recognition of the work done at CESIS.

Expected results and effects
Since 2014, the 23 researchers in the CESIS network published 98 referee reviewed scientific journal articles, released 5 books with scientifically researched research contributions, edited 3 international scientific journals and published 155 working papers. In addition, they have participated in Sweden´s radio program, science radio and news broadcasts. The researchers have also participated in public inquiries about economics, taxes and regulations. Research has been carried out on behalf of government and regional authorities as well as international bodies.
Planned approach and implementation
A key part of the CESIS research environment is the building of extensive databases for innovation studies. These databases originate from Statistics Sweden, based on individuals and companies, covering the entire Swedish population of people, companies, industries and regions. Over time, CESIS has supplemented these databases with other essential information for advanced innovation studies. Today, the CESIS environment offers world-class microdata for innovation research. CESIS has developed the necessary skills for and empirical analysis of this data
